Chapter 5: Life's a beach!

Disclaimer: I hate writing these damn things when only like a few people review. Come on people, I write these things fast when I could be out playing Gears of War again like I used to before this.

Renji made the mistake of choosing to stay by Marie's side during the plane ride, who had decided to sit next to Sakura and Ino to hear what they knew about the couple. As it turned out, they knew a lot about the couple and also Keiji and Anko. In fact they knew everything about every couple in Konoha, like the kinky stuff people did in sex and Marie had found herself being dragged into a conversation about the kinky things people did during sex, which only reminded her of the time when she caught Renji having sex one time. Unfortunately it slipped out of her mouth that she had done that and immediately the two women wanted to know what she had seen with her eyes.

"Oh come on please tell us," begged the two women with puppy dog eyes, which they could tell Marie was a sucker for.

"Well," began Marie as she looked at Renji who was listening to Incubus the whole time. "I was coming back from work when it happened."

"So Naruto are you sure about this I mean me and Sakura haven't been all fun and games," warned Sasuke.

"I know that you idiot," replied Naruto finding it ironic that he was the one calling Sasuke an idiot. "We've been living together for so long that us getting married is only making it official that we're going to be together forever."

"That's funny coming from you dobe," replied Sasuke. He just went back to listening to his music, which was surprisingly keel Clarkson. (And you thought it was going to be metal or emo rock.)

"Well you know a lot of people are questioning your inviting Orochimaru to the wedding," said Shikamaru in his sleep. (He can hold conversations in his sleep a quality that saved him when he talked Ino or Temari.)

"You mean just like how a lot of people are questioning your decision not to have a wedding ceremony," retorted Naruto. He stuck by his invitation to Orochimaru even though a lot of people were still hazy on the subject of the Sound alliance. "If I'm going to be Hokage then I must be able to embrace every treaty we have instead of alienating our allies. Besides, he helped us out a number of times, especially when I was lost in the demon realm. I know he did kill the Sandaime, but he has done a lot to make up for it, even going so far as to put his men in danger by helping us."

"Well I think it will take time to you arguing logically instead of saying that it's your decision," said Neiji.

"It takes a while just as it took a while to get used to you not talking about how you knew everything about your destiny," said Naruto slyly.

"Yeah, but I was young and asshole so I didn't know any better," replied Neiji. "I don't seem to feel the need to apologize for how I acted since I have changed after joining the 'I got sense beaten into me by Naruto' club."

"Seems to be a lot of people in that club, but you sort of remind me of someone," said Renji who was standing right behind them looking for somewhere else to sit.

"Who do I remind you of," asked Neiji.

"The main character of the book I'm reading," replied Renji. He showed them the book, which had Lolita written on the cover.

"The main character of that book is a pedophile," exclaimed Neiji in rage at the man who had spoked nasty words to him at breakfast and was now comparing him to a pedophile."

"Yes, but that's not the aspect of the main character that I'm referring to," said Renji chuckling softly. "The aspect of the main character that you remind me of is that he is unapologetic. He can stand in front of his self-righteous accusers and honestly say that he is the victim in the whole affair. Despicable, yes, but still he has that quality that makes him human."

"Hey Rneji weren't you sitting next to Marie a few minutes ago," asked Naruto with a grin on his face like a Cheshire cat. "What is there trouble in paradise?"

"There is one rule that every client must respectfully acknowledge that is always unspoken and taken for fact," replied Renji in a tone of a street hustler teaching the sap a lesson in his trade. "That rule is not to piss off the person who plans your wedding."

"Yeah, but you forget the one rule that you must abide by," said Naruto still grinning. "Don't mess with the wedding of some one important."

"Well I guess you're not as dumb as everyone says you are," chuckled Renji as he took his seat. "I just found out she saw me doing something, but she doesn't realize that it had a darker meaning than it did." (You'll hear the whole account in another chapter)

The first thing on everybody's mind as they reached their cabins was to plop themselves on their bed and take a nap. That was everyone except Gai and Rock Lee, who decided to run off and explore their fires of youth as Renji would say and had said. Naruto and Hinata were given the honeymooner sweet because it was where they were expected to spend their honeymoon. Kiba and Neko walked off while Kiba tried to question Neko if she saw anything wrong in the diner because someone had stolen his bacon and eggs. Neko didn't know what to say, she took them, but she didn't think that he wouldn't guess it was her. The first person Kiba blamed was Renji, whom he hadn't met at the time and wasn't there at the time he was knocked across the village. It only made Shino question if Kiba wasn't the adopted nephew who was born of Kiba's mother's sister. Neko couldn't take it anymore, Kiba could only tell if Akamaru had done something and often blamed him for things regardless of whether they could have only been done with the use of opposable thumbs.

"Well I know Akamaru only stole my cookies," said Kiba thinking (he can think) and suddenly it dawned upon him that he hadn't found the culprit because he was always leaving someone out. "You did it, didn't you, Marie?"

"What," asked Marie, who was walking to the private cabin that she'd be sharing with Renji, Tsunade and Sagat.

"You were hiding behind one of the columns of the diner when we first met and I bet you were eating my eggs," said Kiba, though he wasn't being stupid he just denied the fact that his girlfriend would play jokes on him.

"My god baka it was me," shouted Neko, who couldn't take the guilt anymore now that Kiba was making an ass out of himself.

"It took you long enough," replied Kiba with a smirk. "I purposely accused everyone else besides you to admit that you stole my eggs. I just let it eat you up that you were the one making an ass out of me. But I still know that you ate my cookies Akamaru."

"You mean that you purposely made an ass of yourself when you could have just confronted her, but you humiliated yourself just so you could torment her as much as you tormented yourself," asked Renji looking at Kiba as if he was on crack.

"Yes, but that's going to be comfy compared to what I'm going to do to Akamaru when I'm finished taking a nap," yawned Kiba as he went to the room closest to him.

"That's mental," commented Renji as he looked at Kiba one last time before the door closed.

"And wrong, I didn't eat his cookies," barked Akamaru. "I haven't eaten them yet, anyway if anyone's willing to take the blame or place it on someone else."

"That depends on what kind of cookies," replied Naruto who was the only person who could understand besides Hana, but she was with Shino who was hungry for something other than cookies.

"The M&M cookies with sprinkles on them," barked Akamaru. "I ate the chocolate peanut butter cookies."

"I might be willing to get in on this to," said Neko, who loved it when Kiba made those cookies and would secretly snatch some from the cookie jar when she was alone with it. All of Konoha knew how good a baker Kiba was and they had all become addicted to his cookies.

Saved by his baking abilities, thought Akamaru.

Meanwhile at the League of Villains…no not really I just fell asleep watching Boomerang and they had Super Friends. Anyway, Renji and Marie were awkwardly unpacking in silence while Tsunade and Sagat were getting physical in their room as attested by the moaning and the bed banging against the wall. It only made Marie remember that Renji had taken off his headphones while he was telling his story and heard him talk about the part where he bit down on the woman's neck. She knew that he didn't notice her entering the room, but now he knew and the whole relationship was now turned on its ear. The silence was killing her, but she wanted him to break it first if he was angry.

"There was more to the bite than you knew," said Renji, finally ending the silence between them.

"It wasn't the bite that freaked me out it was the whole thing of seeing you in bed with another woman," replied Marie. "I know that we're not dating, but at least you could call to let me know that you brought a woman home to have some fun. That's the only reason you'd have a woman in your room anyway."

"For fun, no that's not the entire reason why I bring them there; I have something to tell you and it's hard to says o I'm just going to use an example. That day when you caught me having sex with that woman I was only having fun with my meal. I wasn't born naturally I was made in some lab by someone, I don't know, but it sometimes caused me to have this urge for blood. Over the years I've been able o control it, but it may sometimes hurt me."

"Next you could just bite me, Renji. I can help and I want to help you get past this so you can find someone later on."

"I can't because if I did I'd drain you of everything, even your life."

There was a knock at the door which Renji answered leaving Marie alone with her thoughts as she tried to formulate a way to respond to what she was just told by a man she thought she knew. It was hard to do anything but stay still, less she fall over. When Renji came back he looked at her and waited for her to condemn him for what he is.

"It's okay Renji, I know you try to stop it and that's what makes you good," said Marie with a smile. "So who was that, did you ask room service for AB positive or negative?"

"Okay first please don't joke about my blood problem or anything else," replied Renji, more annoyed with how terrible the joke was than how she had just joked with the darkest secret he was ready to tell. "Second, get into your bikini, we're going to the beach."

Author's note: The eggs thing was inspired by the talente Kuinochi Neko, who is the inspiration for the character Neko and who also did not realise that i cwas cooking in the back. The reason I say that is becuase I spit in peoples eggs and I told her that and she later gave them back to me for my birthday. Not realising that they were the eggs I spit on I ate them.
